If you create a new mailbox with the same directory name, you should be able to delete it.
-----Original Message----- From: Lake, Mary Elizabeth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2002 3:50 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Deleting a mailbox from a deleted server We are in a bit of a quandary - we brought a new Exchange server online; all public folders, private mailboxes, services, etc were migrated to the new server and then the first server was removed from the Exchange site. Afterwards, a stray mailbox was discovered, still pointing to the old server. When attempting to delete the mailbox we get the error that it could not be deleted because the information is not available. Unfortunately we have no easy way to bring that back online. The defunct mailbox has been hidden so it doesn't present a problem for users, but I'm trying to figure out how (or even if I can?) to delete it out of the Recipients container. I've been through Technet Articles, including Q177772 (Removing Stranded Mailboxes In Mailbox Resources) to no avail. Any suggestions?
